ATI X800XT PE vs. eVGA 6800 Ultra: The Battle at the Top : Review

Quote: For this review, being that these two Video Cards are the best of the best, we didn’t screw around. Most benchmarks were run at 1600x1200 with 4x AA and 8x AF enabled. Why pay $500 if not to enable all the eye candy and run high resolutions, it’s also fun to beat the crap out of a new Video Card to really see how well they perform – theres no 1024x768 testing here! A few benchmarks that we used we did drop to 1280x1024 like Doom 3. Other theoretical applications like Aquamark 3.0, 3D Mark 2001 SE, 3D Mark 2003 and 3D Mark 2005 we ran at the default settings giving the user a chance to compare scores with us. As far as overclocking – we did not get into any with this review. We just felt these Video Cards were as fast as they needed to be, also overclocking milage may vary and we didn’t want to give anyone false hopes on what to expect when overclocking. Oh yea, and there is that $500 price tag – are a few extra frames really worth burning up that new $500 Video Card – and while I can hear a collective “Hell Yeah” we still opted to pass on overclocking either card.
